Therapy for Disconnection, Numbness & Depression
You still show up, but you don’t feel like you when you do.
You’re going through the motions, but nothing really lands.
You wake up, get dressed, answer emails, say the right things. From the outside, you seem fine. But inside? You feel flat. Numb. Disconnected from your own life.
You used to care. Now everything feels muted, as if you’re watching your life happen from a distance. You still show up for work, for friends, for family… but it takes everything you’ve got. You’re checking all the boxes, but it never quite feels like enough.
You wonder: Why do I feel this way? What’s wrong with me? Shouldn’t I be grateful?
This is what high-functioning depression can look like. It’s quiet. It hides behind achievement, independence, and the phrase “I’m just tired.”
And the fact that you’re here, noticing this disconnection, matters more than you think.
It’s not laziness. It’s not weakness. And you’re not broken.
At Rooted Therapy, we work with adults who feel stuck in a fog of emptiness, disconnection, or hopelessness even if they’re “doing everything right.”
Depression isn’t always about sadness. More often, it’s about disconnection from your emotions, your body, and your purpose. It’s the internal shutdown that happens when you’ve been carrying too much, too quietly, for too long.
Here’s what support can look like…
We use a trauma-informed, relational approach that integrates ACT, IFS, existential, and somatic therapy—to help you:
Understand where the emotional shutdown is coming from, so you stop blaming yourself for something that once helped you survive.
Reconnect with feelings that have gone underground at a pace that doesn’t overwhelm your system.
Work through self-blame, shame, or internal criticism
Explore unmet needs that never had space before
Find small, sustainable ways to move toward aliveness again. Not pressure to “feel better” but more moments that feel real.
What you won’t find in our practice is toxic positivity or forcing a better mood. We’re about giving space to the parts of you that are still here even if they feel far away right now.
If therapy hasn’t helped before:
Many of our clients have tried therapy where they learned coping skills but still felt empty, disconnected, or unchanged.
This work goes deeper into the patterns, protective strategies, and nervous system responses that keep you functioning but disconnected. We don’t rush insight or push positivity. We work at the level where real change happens.
There’s more waiting for you than just getting by.
You don’t have to keep pretending you’re okay, and you don’t have to wait until you hit rock bottom to get support.
If you’re feeling disconnected, numb, or like you’re losing yourself, therapy can help you find your way back.
